Pheobe my Eastern Garter

Just out of curiosity, how long is she? Might just be the pic but she looks like a monster! Very nice snake.

She looks of decent size....

How do I post pics in here?

Shes a little over 3 feet long. Once I figure out how to post the pics then I will put some in here but until then I have pics of her in my albumn in my profile.

How do I post pics in here?

From the forums gallery? Your album? You click the picture and underneath you highlight the IMG code, or BBM code, (I don't know which i use photobucket) and than copy it, and paste it here

Hello and Welcome!
I'm in Michigan too- over in Macomb county, NE of Detroit.
The Butlers garters in my area are starting to give birth- baby season is definitely upon us.

[Mrs N1ntndo]

Im going to try now . I know I cant wait. I know she needs to shed but hasnt done it yet. Eyes were cloudy for 3 days and cleared up early early yesterday morn and shes just laying there now. Hasnt shed yet. How long b4 giving birth do the stop eating. Cause yesterday she ate 1 crawling when she normilly eats 3-4 at a time. Even when she is getting ready to shed she still eats something .

Not eating isn't a good judge of birth time with some snakes.
I have some that eat on birthing day and shortly before they finish giving birth.
My girls usually get restless before giving birth.
They keep on the move and can't seem to get comfortable anywhere.

I know the gravel isnt good and I gotta wait for my check and things will be changing. This is Pheobe's whole body to show how big she is.


This is Pheobe's tail to show a closer view of that. Let me know what you think please.

[Mrs N1ntndo]

Thank you. I watch her all the time to make sure everything is good. Is there a chance that a snake can still give birth before shedding . Also do they ever give birth in water?
